President inspects construction work in Egypt’s new capital

CAIRO – 28 February 2022: Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi made an inspection tour by plane of the construction works in the New Administrative Capital on Monday.

This came while Sisi launched Monday the National Family Development Project aimed at curbing population growth through various means.

During the inauguration, Sisi underscored that three years ago, patients who were on surgeries waiting lists amounted to 10,000. Since then, we provided treatment to over one million patients.

Sisi stressed the salience of encouraging students to study ICT technologies saying that "many major in non-science disciplines, just to have a university degree, and then complain they cannot find jobs, which is normal given that their skills do not match the market requirements."

The president stated that 300,000 graduates of computer science schools were tested to join an international programming study program, whose duration is 18 months, through a governmental scholarship. But, only 111 passed, the chief of state lamented.
